Greetings one and all...
I thought it was about time to introduce the second member of this duo (or
trio, all things depending)...
Name:
Vashanna Naelyn
Appearance:
Dark Elf
5'3"
Exceptionally beautiful
Brown skin, a shade darker than caramel
White hair, not simply gray or silver, but pure white
Gray eyes
Very slender, but healthier than Simon
A little farsighted from always staring at either a computer screen
or her clan's old scrolls...She wears glasses
Abilities:
As a Dark Elf, Vashanna can see exceptionally well in the dark,
similar to a cat's vision, but better
She can blend into the shadows and disappear, not through magic,
but simply because that's what her people are good at.
Long lived. Extremely. Vashanna is considered a child at 79.
As such, she has undeveloped abilities that all adult Dark Elves
have, such as conjuration and summoning.
Inventory:
(Everything scrounged from the bodies of the portal accident)
She has much of her old stuff, though none of the electronic things
work. Other things she's taken from the site of the portal accident
that brought her to Nu. Through trial and error, she's built a small
cabin west of the accident site and has refashioned most of the
clothes she wears from what she's taken.
She has her father's sword. Elfen blade, long and thin. Named
Pasha. She keeps him slung over her back, ready for use.
Personality:
Vashanna is courteous and kind, but also tough. She's been in Nu
for almost two months and living in the wilderness has toughened
her up. She has vain hope that the portal scroll is still in the
wreckage, which is why she hasn't moved far or gone elsewhere.
Being elf means that she doesn't give up hope easily, but it's
beginning to wear on her. She knows that there are humans on Nu,
but she is kind of prejudiced against them.
Quote:
"Vatheryth el..." - picked up from her grandfather whom she lost at
an early age. No human equivalent, but roughly translates as 'So it
goes...' It's very much a coping phrase.
History:
Much of the Elf's history will be set for the readers by way of
flashback through the first few chapters. This will include
Vashanna's personal history as well. To sum up, she's archiving her
clan records, but is curious as to why some records (of incredibly
old age, even for elves) are sealed. Hating a conspiracy, she takes
the oldest one and breaks the seal. After archiving it, she translates
it and finds out about the history of elves that she's never been told.
They were once pan-dimensional people, but grew satisfied when
they got to Earth and decided to stay. Her clan was the one that
forced the other clans on Earth to stay, which is the reason for the
enmity between her clans and others, though it's never been
brought out. One of those, 'they've been fighting for so long, they
forgot the reason'. At the end of the history is the portal spell. She
never realized that when she read it, everyone and everything
within the mountain would be transported with her, but that was
the nature of the portal, as it was used to transport whole
communities at once. Unfortunately, another part of the scroll
shows her that the other elves need to be in a certain radius of the
scroll to live through the transport, which they didn't. She's still
mourning. Vashanna now works to translate the rest of the scrolls
and try to find some way home.
What d'ya think of her? Hot, huh? ;P
The first couple chapters will be the introduction as well, so, let's get
into it!
Joshua "Gargoyle" Trujillo

Wanna take a ride?
Moving fast to beat the devil,
Arms too short to box with God.
Time counts and keeps countin'
